My limbs were on fire
But my soul wasn't there,
My bones were crushing
Under my flesh and flare.

I couldn't take it anymore
When my muscles fell in
convulsion, my heart beats
were racing with repulsion.

Adrenaline was pumped hard,
Fast as a marathon race,
All my cards were on the table
But I was struggling the pain.

I found no answers leading to my soul
The dusty, rusty void beneath
Where could I find this hole?
I had just had to breathe.

I took a deep breath, till the
echo reached inside, I felt
oxygen in every inch in me,
My soul got nowhere to hide.

I repelled all the laziness,
I reckoned all the pain -
Nothing it was, leaving
numbness. It was just a stupid dream.
I believe what differs toys than humans is the soul/spirit - without finding your soul. You're nothing. "I'm a toy soldier."

Whoa.
Yeah, that first line totally made me think, "WWI". Even though I hadn't fully absorbed the title.
So I think that goes to show - when you write with intent, your readers can really feel it. :)

Usually, the whole "And it was all a dream" thing is kinda lame. XD But it works excellently here. :D
